net: sched: fix use after free when tcf_chain_destroy is called multi…

The goto_chain termination action takes a reference of a chain. In that
case, there is an issue when block_put is called tcf_chain_destroy
directly. The follo-up call of tcf_chain_put by goto_chain action free
works with memory that is already freed. This was caught by kasan:

So allow tcf_chain_destroy to be called multiple times, free only in
case the reference count drops to 0.
